You Should Listen To
Waxx Off – ‘Wickedest’
Looking for a supercharged fly kick to the senses? Waxx Off has a treat just for you! His most recent release ‘Wickedest’ is a 174bpm red hot heater that’s kicked off a national tour for the exciting producer. Inspired by the Need for Speed soundtracks from the 2000s, this hard-hitter perfectly soundtracks sliding around the corner sideways in your car (on Mario Kart, of course). Freshly signed by an international booking agency, Waxx Off may be one of SA’s fastest rising stars.
